Hackett is named after a newspaper editor called Sir John Winthrop Hackett (no more cough medicine jokes please...). I had never heard of this guy, but apparently he gets kudos for work helping bring our country together as a Federation, plus to get women the vote in WA.
Streets here are named after scientists - hence I recognised none of the names at all.
Unfortunately my aching head made our Hackett visit quite short.I think I really need to go back here sometime to have a proper look around. I also want to have a few drinks at the cafe/pub at the shops which seemed awesome and has yummy gf cakes :)
Overall, I had a good feeling about this suburb though...some lovely houses, as well as the usual north inner north reddish brick townhouse/flats, and its so close to the bush despite not being far from civic either. I felt sad for the panda though :(
